Sam Carter is a BBC Folk Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his lyrical storytelling and expressive fingerpicking. Described by Uncut as “as penetrating as Richard Thompson’s best work” and praised by Guitarist Magazine as part of the UK’s proud folk tradition, Carter blends English folk, shape-note singing, and indie-rock across six solo albums and two with folk-rock band False Lights.

 

His latest release, Silver Horizon, produced by Andy Bell, hit the Top 40 Folk Chart and showcases lush, dreamlike soundscapes. With standout performances on Later… with Jools Holland and acclaim from artists like Nitin Sawhney and Jon Boden, Carter continues to captivate audiences with his raw honesty, humour, and musical brilliance.

 

“Really wonderful” — Jools Holland

“The finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation” — Jon Boden

“Killer voice” — Nitin Sawhney

As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.
